BETH LIDA FOREST HILL SYNAGOGUE

Beth Lida Forest Hill Synagogue operates an animal welfare program that provides veterinary care, food assistance, and support services for pets belonging to low-income individuals and seniors across Toronto. The synagogue recognizes that financial hardship often forces people to choose between caring for their animals and meeting other basic needs, and works to remove this barrier by offering affordable spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and emergency medical treatment. The organization also distributes pet food and supplies to families struggling to afford them. By keeping pets and their owners together, Beth Lida Forest Hill Synagogue upholds both animal welfare and human dignity within the community.
